Just bought a NA auto 33 , it needs an airbox snorkel and is yet to be serviced , I've noticed when I put my foot down a lot of thr travel of the accelerator does nothing...not until my foot is almost flat the car picks up....still yet to put the air box snorkel on and do the engine oil and filter which might make the car go a little smoother , the throttle cable doesn't seem slack...The pick up is fine until past 1/4 throttle it's after that there's a big blank spot in accelerationAny ideas? Cheers

Welcome to the nugget that is the NA skyline my friend.

as above, the NA skylines are a bit of a slug, especially the autos. what you are describing sounds like there is something else going on though (without knowing whether you are exagerating it or not). your transmission fluid may be low or you may have a sticking brake or the engine may simply be low on compression, resulting in lower than normal power. there are other things you can check though, such as the ignition timing, to make sure that it is right so you aren't losing power there.

so if you rev the car by turning the throttle body it is fine, but then if you go and sit in the car and rev it with the accelerator pedal (while still parked) it lags a bit? if so, then yes, sounds like there is an issue with the cable. may be that either the cable or outer casing is damage, or it is slack and needs tightening up

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
